Purr-fect Friend | My Favorite Things Stamps

Hello there, well today I'm back again with second card to share, with me being a guess designer on My Mum's Craft Shop blog. Anyone that knows me well, knows I adore kitty cats and can spend hours and hours looking a cute cat videos on YouTube and Instagram, sad you may say? but I just love cats and their individual characters and just can't can enough of them. So with that in mind, I just had to make card with cats on.

First I cut the A2 stitched panel from Neenah card using the silhouette cameo, next cut another stitched panel from sheet of 12 x 12 pattern paper that was from The Works which  is now sadly discontinued. Cut across the middle of the pattern paper with  a guillotine, adhered the pattern panel to the Neenah panel using double sided tape. Stamped You're' A Purrfect Friend on strip of lilac card from the MFT Cat-itude stamps, using versa fine onyx black ink and my DIY stamp tool. Adhere the strip just slightly above the middle of the card.

Next I stamped the cats on sketch paper and scan this using the direct scan function on the Silhouette, (This is direct scan and does NOT save the scanned image the computer and hence does NOT infringe any copyright as your not saving anything and are just using the cameo as pair of scissors to cut out the image) then trace the image with the trace tool with the silhouette software. To create die cut and then stamp the cat images and food bowl from the MFT Cat - itude stamp set using versa fine onyx black ink pad and of course my trusted DIY stamp tool..Definitely a must. Coloured in using WHSmith coloured pencils. Adhere the cat to the back with double sided tape and then other cat and food bowl with double sided foam tape. Adhered the panel to A2 US card blank using double sided foam tape. Added a few clear sequins using micro glue dots to adhered them.

Guest Designer at My Mum's Craft Shop | February 2017

Hello there, today I have the absolute pleasure to be Guest Designing at My Mum's Craft Shop for the month of February, Kitty who is the owner of My Mum's Craft Shop is such super talented designer and her online shop is stocked with such array of choice for your crafty needs including the big stamp brands from the USA, do pop on by and take look as it's definitely worth a visit. When Kitty asked me to be guest designer for February I was utterly delighted and couldn't say yes quick enough.   

Started with grey A2 US card blank folded at the top. Created a stitched rectangle panel (slighter smaller than the card blank) within the Silhouette Studio Software, place a sheet of neenah solar white card on cricut mat and cut out the panel using the Silhouette machine. Using my diy stamp tool, I stamped the smaller cat from MFT Cat-itude stamp set first with Versafine onyx black ink, then stamped the same image on to piece of sticky note and fussy cut out to create a mask and placed this over the original stamped image. 

Then stamped the larger cat just to the side of the little cat. Coloured in the image with WH Smith artist quality colouring pencils and created a soft scene around the two cats to make the cats look more grounded. Applied double sided foam tape to the back of the panel and adhered to the card blank. Took a strip of grey card and rubbed over the card with cornflour (anti static) and using the "You're A Perrfect Friend " sentiment from MFT Cat-itude stamp set, stamped it onto the strip of card using Versamark Watermark stamp pad, poured over WOW bright white embossing powder and heat set with heat tool.  

Applied a strip of double sided foam tape to the back and adhered this just right of the cats. Finally added a few iridescent sequins adhering them with micro glue dots.

I simply adore cats and I'm always watching those cute cat videos on YouTube, Do you have a love for cats too?. Thank you to the lovely Kitty for choosing me to be a guest with her and her super talented design team.
